Known UI Issue on Release:
Finally, we wanted to make players aware of a Known Issue that some players may encounter on release.
Some players may notice that the n-Wagen cab car (DB Bnrdzf 463) erroneously appears in the train selection screen, instead of the Wittenberger Cab car (DB Bnrdzf 483). Selecting the n-Wagen will show the correct Wittenberger cab car option as a listed variant.
The Wittenberger cab car is playable, if this variant is selected.
A fix for this issue has been submitted, with affected players receiving a post-release update to rectify it.
